Sign in with a PIN on shared devices

Signing in with Google on a shared phone or tablet is slow, and leaves someone else’s account open on it. A PIN is quicker: on your own office or warehouse network, the sign-in screen lists the people who have set a PIN. Each person taps their name and types their 6-digit PIN.

Turn it on for a network

  1. Register the network first. See register your own networks.
  2. Go to Admin, then Networks, and switch on Allow PIN Sign-in for that network.

It is off for every network until you switch it on. Anywhere else, the sign-in screen shows no names, and a PIN is refused.

Set your own PIN

  1. Sign in with Google as usual, then open View profile from the menu under your picture.
  2. Under PIN for Shared Devices, type 6 digits and choose Set PIN.

Easy ones like 123456 or 111111 are refused. To change or remove it later, come back here after a Google sign-in. A PIN cannot be changed from a PIN sign-in.

On the shared device

  • Tap your name, type your PIN and choose Sign In.
  • When you are done, open the menu under your picture and choose Switch Person.
  • The device signs you out after 30 minutes without a tap, after 12 hours at most, and whenever it leaves the network.

Good to know

  • Five wrong PINs lock it for 15 minutes. Google sign-in still works meanwhile.
  • A PIN sign-in cannot open the Admin area. Everything else works as it does for that person.
  • Changes are marked. Anything changed after a PIN sign-in shows “(PIN)” beside the person’s name in the activity log. See read the activity log.
  • Forgotten PIN. Someone with permission to manage roles can choose Clear PIN for that person under Admin, then Users; the person then sets a new one from their profile.
